Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

Sara_K, Oct 2026

Wonderful tour for multi generations!

We absolutely loved our tour. We are a family of elderly parents and 2 middle-aged daughters visiting Sao Miguel for the first time. This tour was a perfect way to start our week. Lana and Dahlila were amazing guides! Lana shared so much history and culture to give us the lay of the land. Her local insights will be valuable throughout our stay - locating the farmer’s market, restaurants and shops to return to, points of interest on the island, etc. Dahlilah ensured that each stop was ready for us and prepared to share their many excellent dishes and drinks. We loved this tour - thank you!

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day with a lot of fog. We weren't able to see very much, but towards the end of the trip, the sky is cleared up to some extent. The tour guides Andrea and John took extra efforts to show us the views from different angle. Lunch was absolutely great catering to everybody vegetarians non-vegetarians. The history of all the volcanoes and islands were very well explained.

Fantastic day of beautiful scenery, excellent food and drink, and wonderful company

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Jose Miguel as our fantastic tour guide. Jose is so knowledgeable about the island, having grown up here and raised his children here. He took us to so many beautiful locations, with such a diversity in geography and interests. The short hikes were perfect, the food at the lunch restaurant was delicious and abundant, the breakfast pastry shop was really yummy, and most of all the views were amazing! We had lovely co-tourists and really got to know the whole island so well. You should definitely do this tour!

Stop over perfection

What a fantastic tour, absolutely loved it and recommend for a perfect overview of the beauty of the island João was so helpful starting the tour a little early when my stopover window was dramatically shortened He made sure I was at the airport right in time. I was shown so many hidden gems in our time together, so now I’ve got to return to have a full experience. Please take this tour, you will love it

Amazing tour with an amazing guide!

We took a four wheeler and had an amazing time. It was the biggest the roads on the island felt for us since we got here. Our guide was one of the most patient kind people you could ever find and had great information at the stops. We would absolutely do this again except this time I think we would do the full day tour.

Azores Whale Watching Tour – Ponta Delgada

Jennifer_A, Sep 2026

Fun Experience…

We had a good time on the whale watching tour. We were lucky with good weather and ocean conditions. We saw common and bottle-nose dolphins and sperm whales. We were worried that the catamaran would feel too crowded, but there was plenty of space and everyone was able to view the animals. Pico de Adventures got us as close to the animals as they could while still respecting them. (We watched a small boat from another tour company get too close to the whales.)

Went with my brother for his 50th birthday. We had a blast. Due to some no shows we basically had a private tour so that made it extra special. The guides themselves Thomas and Alberto (I think) were the stars. So friendly and warm like they were our buddies just having a blast in nature. Two thumbs up for sure. Just know the physical requirements before booking.

Exciting, fun excursion

Mr Miguel was a fountain of interesting information with historical context. I’ve never known a guy who could answer every question in detail. We stopped at several places with gorgeous vistas and the beautiful botanical garden. The volcanic pools were particularly interesting and quite aromatic 😖.

Sally_M, Sep 2026

Must do on day 1

Tomás was such a sweet and great host throughout the tuktuk experience. My parents loved the experience he had planned and all the areas we explored throughout Ponta Delgada and some parts of Lagoa. Highly recommend to do this on arrival day, it’s a great way to get out and see the surroundings with a local who has pride in his origins and is eager to share it with us. Tomás, keep up the great work and energy, you are a true gem👍🏻
